Hi,
Sent email to IV core emails listed in
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=57&Itemid=49
Thanks,
I know that IV core members are busy with their own jobs and helping with IV but I think this is an important discussion because it can be done with an administrative fix. If primary applicants are allotted GC's from EB 1,2 and 3 and dependents from FB2A it saves a lot of visa numbers. Somebody pls contact IV core directly and get them involved in this discussion.
This concept is not unique and is being done for age out children before CSPA (Child status protection act) and for children of US citizens and permanent residents who get married before getting GC.

Hi Guys
My date is not current but I understand the frustration here. However I beleive USCIS is under severe pressure to reduce the backlogs and not waste any numbers this year....so they are trying to exhaust them as and when they can...in that scenaio I guess lower hanging fruits are getting picked.
But on the bright side as I see it as more and more people get their GCs its a smaller line and the officers should be able to get to everyone's file in due course.
I completely believe the system should be FIFO but then don't you think that will be too logical for the USCIS......
Hopefully if they are able to get a lot of people out of the way they should go back to normal processing from October when new numbers are available and the pressure is somewhat less.....
Again above is my theory. I hope everyone gets their green cards soon and the line keeps moving.
regards
Saket

My labour and I-140 is approved last year and I am working with current employer from last 1 and half years. Employer is making good money trough me....
m very much in tension and he is talking to me.
Can someone suggest what may be the option for me?
Its all about how you negotiate. You may have some leeway in your negotiations if you have enough years left on your H1B. If all other peaceful negotiations fail let them know - without loosing your temper - that filing I 485 is the most important thing for you at this point and if it does not get done before the PDs retrogress again you will look out for other job using H1B transfer. All they worry about is the billing money they get out of you and they are worried once you file I-485 they will loose it in 6 months due to AC21. If you make them see that they will loose it other way too they may cut some deal with you.
Just my 2 cents

Hi rc0878,
I just checked the notice and there is no priority date on mine. It is left blank.
I wonder if it is printed for ANYONE.
Quick question for thosewho have already recieved their receipt notice????
What does the priority date column say on your receipt notices? I mean does it show the actual priority date or is blank????

Was a little disillusioned with the whole name check process and I called USCIS yesterday. My wife cleared her name check, but mine is pending. It was initiated for both of us on Sept 26. I am not worried at all although it would not be true if I said that I was never worried.
This is an irrational, unscientific and to a great extent arbitrary process - and by that I mean the entire green card process. Added to that is the never ending desire to beat the process - read labor substitution and PD porting. I have neither tried it nor do I intend to do it. Before people start piling on and I get accused of a holier than thou attitude, I am only expressing an opinion (not a value judgement) in an open forum. The last time I checked, a forum was meant to do just that.
Objectively thinking my emotional stability and that of my family is a lot dearer than a piece of plastic, especially when none of the steps in the process are within my control.
Yes I can contribute, lobby, send letters etc and make an attempt to get the process under my control - but I think its an indvidual decision whether someone wants to contribute, lobby, write letters etc - I did attend the DC rally though. Obviously the opportunity to express my opinion here has been provided by IV and I am grateful for that.
All that I care about right now is to make sure my wife graduates from school, is able to work, we can travel as a family and enjoy this country. The rest is like trying to find two grains of wheat in two bushels of chaff.
Just my 2 cents - Good luck with your green card process.

I consider the 30-40 range 'golden' years . Enough experience to handle various things without much botheration of senility. Depression is not continuous, but comes once in a while. Currently i am optimistic that India EB2 will move forward starting Oct.2008 and my PD of Nov.2002 will become current some time in 2009 and i will be inching to 10 years of SSN eligibility.
I also have following kind of worries too, which haunt me often.
Being the 'only son' there is a big emotional pull from the parents to take care of them. But am worried about 'transporting' the American citizen kid back to India ( like them adjusting to the culture there ). Now my batch mates who got GC ( because they came early to USA and got lucky. One India EB2 friend - applied PERM in 2005 & I-485 in 2005 - got his GC in Aug 2007 ! ) , aiming for citizenship , then they want to move to India and plan to bring up kids there. And when they are 'ripe' for higher studies, march back to USA.

I think if there is a genuine reason , may be the 485 can be expedited.
1 Could you call up the IO and ask them what to do ?
2 Meanwhile check wiith ur lawyer.
I feel its better for ur wife to go back to the home country ..
May be u too can go now itself and have a good time for the next 6 months.

Setting up company is just the first step for Self-Employment. The key things is to demonstrate that new job is in same/similar classification and company has offered "bonafide" job, not just job on paper.
BTW, it is not necessary to have LLC. The corporate structure could be S-Corp or C-Corp also.

In this enforcement climate, self-employment is risky too. The memo is not a binding rule. Having said that, even if any one chose to self employment, they must have very proper documents including long-term contract agreement with few clients, that explanis the service you provide shold be in-line with orginal I-140 job duties. In current H1B denial rate becuse of client letters RFE, the self employed AC21 cases shold be more prepared, in case of RFE.

I am pretty for EB3 folks. This is really not fare to those genuine guys (not substitute ones) waiting more than 7 years. I am know few friends applied with me in EB3 have lost green card hope. They are eligible for EB2 when applying but only reason that stopped them is their company don't want them to apply in EB2 category. Praying god is the only thing I can do for them..

@supreet:
Desi/Sankap,
I am not planning to open a company for this. If possible, I would rather work as an independent contractor on 1099.
Please read IRS links I posted above re independent contractor vs. worker. Since you'll be filing your taxes as an independent contractor/sole proprietor on 1099, you'll be considered "self-employed." AC21 allows self-employment. You may not be formally opening a company, but you'll be self-employed.
Now, after reading the last few posts, it looks like there are three things I need to worry about in case of a RFE -
1. Job should be bona fide (without going into the definition of the word).
My project is going to be with a large Bank through a big, wellknown consulting/outsourcing company. That should take care of the 'bonafide' part.
All self-employment is legitimate--so no need to worry. Another option is o get the EVL from the staffing company in case of RFE. Your subcontract with the bank is immaterial.
2. Should have similar/same job duties/responsibilities.
I am still waiting for the contract, however I can have my job duties/responsibilities listed out in my contract with the company. I am sure I can get a letter from the client too if it comes to that.
Your self-employment under AC21 has to be same or similar job. If the contracting co can give you an EVL (in case of an RFE), good enough. If not, you can create one for your self-employed "Sole Proprietorship." I wouldn't bother the staffing company*now* for an EVL.
3. Job should be permanent - This is something I may not be able to prove. Since the project is short term, I am sure my contract will mention that. I am trying to convince the company to at least include "contract-to-hire" in the language of the contract. Since this project has potential of becoming long term, company is not averse to this idea.
Will having 'contract-to-hire' in the contract take care of this question (if a RFE comes).
All self-employment is "permanent." The staffing co may be able to write that on EVL. I wouldn't talk with the staffing co about that now: worry about that only in case of an RFE.
Thanks!!

Guys life is not fair......the only way any media or congressional attention can be gained is by playing the age old tested and tried method shwon to work even if its a low blow..
DISCRIMINATION based on national origin......we need to make it about nationality and RACE........
The illegals are playing the card and most probably will get what they want........
Nobody gives a rats ass if we played by the rules or not.......rules change, games change...we need to take a more united(join forces with all immigrants irrespective of their status) and fight on a common platform.......we should get to make anybody who opposes us on whatever ground(justified or not) declared into a RACIST.......
Our opposition is not divided we cannot afford to be either.....remember JO JEETA WAHI SIKANDER.......Victory is all that counts....just my 2 cents........
